The piercing pain of headache, migraine or any other ailment affects the body a lot. When drugs like paracetamol, ibuprofen, and aspirin cannot provide relief alone then you use solpadeine to overcome this pain.

Solpadeine is a potent painkiller that produces an effective response against acute or moderate pain. But you should know that it is for short-term use only.

Codeine Addiction and Side Effects

And this drug is for children of age 12 and above adults only. You should not give it to children below 12 at any cost. Moreover, breastfeeding and pregnant women are also not recommended to use it as a painkiller.

This medication is for pain relief. What kind of pain can you cure? Here are the uses of Solpadeine:

  • To treat migraine
  • Effective in headache
  • To give relief during periods pain
  • To cure dental pain
  • Backache
  • For rheumatic pain relief

Solpadeine has a small amount of codeine in it which is an opiate. The codeine can cause drowsiness if taken in a large amount. If you feel sleepy while using Solpadeine you should avoid driving at first and also not operate machinery.

Codeine in solpadeine is addictive in nature and the body develops tolerance against it quickly. People using solpadeine can be dependent on it due to opiates present in it. But how can you become addicted to it? There are several ways that can cause addiction. Some of them are following:

  • You take it for some valid reason but eventually become prey to addiction
  • You seek a ‘high’ and take solpadeine to achieve this
  • You take solpadeine to suppress some feelings and disturbing thoughts

But many patients do not admit that they have become addicted to the drug. Then how can they come to know about their addiction?
